Apple iPad and Mac event tipped for mid-October

Apple will host an event to introduce new iPad tablets, revamped Mac computers and the final version of the new Mac OS X software next month, if reports on Tuesday are to be believed.

According to Bloomberg, the firm has earmarked “mid-October” for the launch event, a claim seconded by Apple Insider. Neither site offered a specific date, but Dot Daily did, claiming the event will happen on October 21.

That assertion, perhaps an educated guess, seems reasonable given the firm held its last iPad launch event on October 22 in 2013.

At this year’s event, Apple is expected to launch an iPad Air 2 with the A8 processor, iOS 8, and perhaps a refined design.

There has also been a re-emergence of rumours tipping a 12.9-inch ‘iPad Pro’ in recent weeks, while the firm might also refine its iPad mini line.
